I love chunky monkeys--they remind me so much of my childhood days.
These chunky monkeys are classics especially the Takatokus. They are diecast, durable & highly playable & they have the MADE IN JAPAN tag on them that makes them valuable pieces to collect for any Macross fanatic.
It's just like the Transformers--the G1 TF's are much more valuable than the reissues, when in fact they look the same.
You wouldn't know the difference until you have them---they feel very different. They are my favorites no matter how many macross toys are there ( I have all of the new ones).
Classics will always be classics. They are always the MORE valuable & MORE expensive ones to collect.
